ive been playing pump more and more often, with my mechs in a close second, and my electro in a distant 3rd.




A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator.

Electro>Mech. Pumps are also fun to mess around with.

Pump 4tehwin. It's the real way to play

However, if I'm using a semi, I like being able to really lay it down. So, Pump > Electro > Mech

I have to vote mech. The electros I've seen around here (only low end, more specifically Spyders) have been nothing but trouble. 2 of my friends replaced their Pilot and Imagine '04 with Autococker Trilogy Pros. I've always had my Tippy so no problems there.

As far as performance, it's a no brainer= electro. My personal preference is also electro.
